« on: 06 September 2013, 21:52:41 »

Sorry, can't help with the egay question, as I try to avoid that site now, due to the amount of crap that sellers actually send in place of what you expect.

Most wishbones I've seen include the hole for the sensor, although sometimes its just a hole, so you need a longer bolt and a nut on the other side.  Even it it doesn't, easy enough to drill one - just rustproof it before fitting.

I don't know of any discounts there? Unless I've missed something  :-[  :-\

If there is I need to ring up, see if he can apply a discount i've missed to future items.

Have used these guys a couple of times :y fast efficient service as well :y

The parts don't last as long as genuine ones, but the price does kind of tell you that ::) swap the front bushes for the poly ones :y

Oe front bushes fail early if bolts are tightened wheels off the floor.

A better solution is poly fronts from poweflex. These can be fitted wishbones on the car, IF the rearward bush is sound, and do NOT need the bolts tightened wheels loaded.

If rearward bush has failed, these are easier to press, as you probably know, and only need Bout a ton of pressure, or even a sturdy vice if your carefull. ;)


Ebay no name specials are a gamble at best, even if they are correctly fitted with bolts tightened wheels loaded.

The ones I linked to were a damn site better than Delphi ones :-X

Besides, OP is in Slovenia, so German Ebay might be more convenient from a postage point of view :-\
